So you have a pretty, new MacBook Pro or MacBook air. Shiny! Smooth! Nice! And you want to keep it that way. But you don’t want to add a ton of bulk to it–after all, one of the reasons to get a MacBook–particularly a MacBook Air–is that it’s so thin and light, right? So what [...]

Twelve South HiRise for MacBook Review
At present my only computer is a 15″ MacBook Pro with Retina display. I love it. Similarly, Elana’s only computer is an 11″ MacBook air. She loves it. When Elana works on her MBA, she always does so with the computer sitting atop the Rain Design mStand for MacBook I reviewed back in December of [...]
Mobility, It Is All About the Ecosystem and #GiftsThatDo
Best Buy has launched a special Gifts That Do campaign and invited us to serve as one of their mobile technology and gadget experts for this Holiday Season. I put together an extensive list of gear we have reviewed on the site and/or Judie and I use on a daily basis. Then I set about [...]
Blue’s Spark Digital Now Available
As I have quickly learned while trying to shoot videos for the site and record audio for an interactive iBook I am creating, having a high quality microphone can make all the difference. Blue’s Spark Digital is “the world’s first studio-grade condenser microphone to offer both USB and iPad connectivity”. We’ve reviewed a number of [...]
Libratone Zipp Wireless AirPlay Speaker, First Look
Every now and then a product comes along that not only meets your expectations but actually exceeds them. That’s the case so far with the Libratone Zipp AirPlay Wireless Speaker. Sure, it has a cool, unique look. And sure, the fact that you can change the wool covers then, in seconds, have a speaker that looks [...]
ThinkTank Photo Street Walker HardDrive Backpack Review

We also reviewed the ThinkTank Photo StreetWalker Camera Backpack that has now taken up residence with Judie. (Read the review.) And finally we reviewed the Think Tank [...]

The AluBase and AluRack take different approaches to accomplishing the same task and, each in their own way, they help turn your laptop into functional, and sleek, [...]
Desktop Chair for iPad and MacBook air Review
We’ve looked at numerous iPad stands but few have been as simple and natural as this Desktop Chair from Moku Woodware. The Desktop Chair promises to “turn your laptop into a desktop”. Made from natural basswood, the Desktop Chair looks neat on its own and works well, except when it doesn’t. Let’s take a look. [...]

It will, of course, come as no small surprise that we are looking forward to getting our hands on each. So what HAS Skooba rolled out? There’s the [...]
The Libratone Zipp Airplay Speaker Is a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
With Apple changing their dock connector this year, I’ve finally moved to a portable Bluetooth streaming speaker system in my work space; and while it works well enough, it’s an oddly shaped gray plastic box. I keep it hidden at the bottom of our television stand; that way we can hear it, but no one has to [...]
MXL TRIO USB Condenser Microphone Review
The MacBook Pro with retina display really improved on the built-in microphones Apple had been previously using. By including dual-array mics, Apple was able to create a system that allows users to use voice and video chat without a headset. The dual-array setup is also quite useful with the built-in voice recognition that comes with [...]
Tom Bihn Cache Sleeve for the MacBook Pro Retina Review
If, like Judie and me, you got a MacBook Pro with retina display, then you know it is a lot of computer and can easily serve as your only computer. It is for Judie and me and, save for the 512GB of storage, there is zero compromise involved. And if you have a MBPr you [...]
BodyGuardz Ultimate Protective Clear Skin for MacBook Pro with Retina Display Review
While I was waiting for my MacBook Pro with Retina display to show up, Dan was kind enough to loan me his 13″ MacBook Air. Once it had arrived, I found his Air inside a protective plastic shell … which I promptly removed. I did wonder for a few moments about whether or not I [...]
WrapSol’s Protection Bundle for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display Review
When it comes to protecting our various devices, there are a few companies upon which we tend to rely. Of course there is the old standby Zagg, there is our newsletter underwriter Bodyguardz and there is Wrapsol. We reviewed various offerings from each company and have, for the most part, been impressed by all of [...]
ThinkTank Retrospective 7 Camera Bag Review
A few weeks back I wrote an initial post about upping my photographic game. After much thought and discussion I purchased a Canon G3i DSLR with an extra lens, and I have been accumulating additional accessories to go with it. (As a result there are a good many reviews on the way!!) Of course, I need [...]
